http://www.actblue.com/page/arkansasp... When it comes to real health care reform, we know where to find Arkansas "Democrats" Sen. Blanche Lincoln and Rep. Mike Ross.

You won't find them with the 80% of Arkansas Democrats who support a public health insurance option. No, you'll find them where they've always been: standing with the health insurance industry to protect their ill-gained profits.

Sen. Lincoln and Rep. Ross need to get the message: Arkansas wants the public option.

1. Okay, here goes...
FDR: Cowboy up, Democrats!
ER: Franklin, dear, would you please grab hold of the rail while I go kick some ass?

Love it!

3. If only "we the people" would carry through on these threats instead of caving every election
to keep voting for these DINOs.

With the money these types get from the corps and their lobbies, the ONLY alternative is to simply not vote for them, even if it costs the party the seat. We can not compete with their corporate backers, so the odds of getting a real Democrat past the primary are slim, if that.

It will take a large-scale "denial of votes" to convince the party powers (and maybe the DINOs that get into office) that elected Democrats need to act like real Democrats.
